I love redbuds, tried to grow one years ago, it never survived winter. I am apparently at the edge of their zone, although the city just east of me is known as "The Redbud City".
Went outside Sunday when it was at least decent out to take a photo of my iris garden, nothing much to see except snow - with more covering it right now. I didn't think we were supposed to get this much today, I left for work, it took me 10 minutes to go 4 miles ( my commute is 60 miles) so I turned around and came home. The winds are gusting up to 40 miles an hour, and wind chills are at zero and below, so even if I had made it into work, the drive home would have been just as bad.
Had a beloved friend die yesterday ( he was 90,and it's ok) so I think I will do some online flower shopping today to ease the pain in my heart. Iris, daylilies.... I wonder how much damage I can do - and where the heck I will plant them!
